They can be 18 hole, 9 hole, 3 par, miniature golf and/or a driving range. Longer courses will offer rental carts. Some have snack bars or retail shops, or offer lessons or repair services. Some sponsor tournaments on premises. Property exposure may be very minimal if limited to a clubhouse facility and maintenance shed. If there is a restaurant, pro shop or repair facility, exposures will increase. The distance from public fire protection and fire services is important as many golf courses are located in rural areas. Wiring should be up to date and adequate for the operation. Chemical applications such as insecticide, pesticide, or herbicides used to maintain the grounds may be flammable and should be stored separately from other operations. Machinery and equipment can catch on fire if not properly maintained. If there is a pro shop, theft can be an additional concern. Golf carts can be electrically powered or gasoline powered. If gasoline is used, the fueling operation needs to be separate from other facilities. If carts are electrically powered, they can release flammable hydrogen gas while being recharged. The charging room must be well ventilated. The premises should be protected against unauthorized access after hours.

Golf carts can overturn or collide with stationary objects. Many courses require customers to sign hold harmless agreements before using the facilities or renting a golf cart. If lessons are offered to children, it is important to conduct background checks on instructors. A driving range should be physically separated from the rest of the facility, with barriers to prevent the balls from flying into roadways and neighboring houses. If tournaments are conducted on premises, additional security may be needed to control crowds. Private golf clubs may have personal injury exposures from discrimination, defamation of character, false arrest, or unlawful detention. Products liability exposure is from the cooking and eating facilities. The pro shop may sell golf equipment and provide repair services. Environmental impairment exposure is due to the use of herbicides and pesticides to maintain the grounds. All individuals who apply chemicals must be appropriately licensed and the product must be
